the Coordination process.  Joyce, N1RMA has offered to help in any way.  Paul
Gibson will continue to provide support in the final documentation and paper process.


Coordination Issues:

The Hamden, Danbury and Winsted coordinations were discussed.  The Hamden machine
is in cross coordination at this time.  Once the 30-day cross coordination period
ends, papers will be issued.  The FC will communicate to the Winsted applicant some
suggested ideas needed to properly complete coordination.  The Danbury applicant
needs to provide Co-channel information to the FC.

There was discussion as to the Coordination process.  Mark discussed all aspects of
the process.  The issue of temporary coordination was discussed at length.  The
final resolution is as follows: Before final coordination can be given, the emitter
must be on the air for a minimum of 30 days.  The 30-day window can run concurrently
with the 30 day cross coordination period.   

The meeting was closed at 11:25 am. 

The next meeting will be the Sunday January 12,2003 at the Southington Town Hall at
10am.
